Chris,

Well I have been promising this for a long long time.   With some help a few
months ago, we got the proxy code in Jetty-6 close to working.  But then my
available free time evaporated!

So I have to continue to promise that I will address it soon.

Any help making the non-blocking client API work will be on the critical
path to considering CONNECT support.

cheers
